The cutest, most clever pregnancy announcements ever

Once upon a time announcing that you had a baby went pretty much like this. You picked up the phone, dialed (yes, dialed) the number of your nearest and dearest and when they answered you told them the happy news. And that was that.

One, two ... Oh S*$T! Yes, this announcement has a swear word in it and yes, it's kind of crass, but as mothers ourselves we relate - and deeply.
